Physical and optical data collected from drifting buoys between May 1993 - December 1996 (NCEI Accession 0000586)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: October 03, 2025 | Last Modified: 2013-03-17T00:00:00.000+00:00
Upwelling and downwelling irradiances were collected from surface optical drifter buoys off the California coast (NE Pacific limit-180) from 05 May 1993 to 06 December 1996 (non inclusive). Data were collected by the Oregon State University (OSU) Remote Sensing Ocean Optics group (ORSOO). Drifter parameters include sea surface temperatures, downwelling irradiances at 490 nm just above the sea surface, and upwelling radiances at seven wavebands in the visible just beneath the sea surface.
